Considering that the increased firepower of the M41D may already be a major selling point for the vehicle, I'd suggest making the compromise between mobility and firepower more evident by at least lowering the p/w ratio on the M41D to about 25 hp/t (unless you've considered adding the standard Bulldog to the list of tanks to be rebalanced this year), thereby not rendering it as simply a "better bulldog" as many individuals interpret it.

Being a fairly new player however, I'm not sure if the mindset of not nerfing any premium tanks is still in place, so cut me some slack.

"With the main focus on firepower and reliability, this tank will perform just fine on the battlefield. It needs to be played more as a supporter than a scout, as you can see with the lower view range and mobility." - incredibly bad thinking...you buy a premium tank, end up as the only light tank on your team, and get team killed for not scouting, or you try scouting and get killed because you are out-spotted. I see this as more of a liability than a benefit to your team. The DPM really doesn't make up for it, because with the low alpha, it's only going to be able to use that reliably by red-line sniping. I've said it elsewhere, but for this tank to be effective it should have the M41D's historical 72km/h top speed and the same view range as the other two. Nobody wants a light tank player playing a supporting role on their team.
